Mamra — puffed rice — is one of the most joyful, light, and versatile ingredients in Indian cooking and street food culture, the airy, crispy, white puffed rice grains that provide the essential textural foundation for some of the most beloved and characterful Indian snack preparations. Made from rice that is rapidly heated under pressure until the starch granules expand explosively into light, crunchy puffs, mamra has a delicate, nutty, neutral flavour that makes it an ideal carrier for the bold, complex seasonings and toppings that Indian street food preparation piles upon it. Lioncroft's Mamra is produced from quality rice to deliver the consistent puff and reliable crunch that great chaat preparation requires.

Mamra is most famously the primary ingredient in bhel puri — arguably the most beloved and widely eaten of all Indian street food preparations. Tossed in a large bowl with puffed rice, chopped onion, tomato, boiled potato, sev, chutneys, and chaat masala until everything is evenly combined, bhel puri is a masterpiece of balanced flavours and contrasting textures that can be assembled in minutes. In the Marathi tradition, mamra is used in chivda preparations — seasoned and fried with nuts, seeds, curry leaves, and spices into the irresistible snack mix that is ubiquitous at Diwali. As a simple midnight snack mixed with pickle and lemon juice, mamra delivers immediate satisfaction. Lioncroft's Mamra is an essential ingredient for authentic Indian street food cooking at home.
